I have no way of trying it. No one I know has the same TX.

Cheers!

Avionics experts can't seem to help.... Maybe someone here can. Mounted in a Zodiac 601 XL-B is the above Transponder and encoder. Avionics experts tested it on the ground, no engine running. Antenna ...

If it is a slip joint, you have two options. Use NICKEL Anti-Seize, or get Permatex Copper RTV. The local snowmobile race shop here sees unbelievable EGT's and told me the proper way to use ...

Mack, I did block off the HT space under the tail. The detector is the yellow portable unit sold by Aircraft Spruce. I know it's accurate, as I mentioned it went off in my garage due to propane heate ...

Hello all. Well, my airplane is completed. My "restoration" over the course of the winter has solved my CO problem, and I can now accurately tell you where and how it got in. My IN-FLIGHT CO ...

I just dealt With him. Took forever, and I JUST finished reworking my $1100 interior package. Didn't fit worth a shit. He told me, this isn't a custom interior, and may not fit exactly. So, in fairnes ...

Getting there!! Familiar scheme, but with my own touch....

Bobby,

Did you sort out the CO problem like I'm having?

I'm still working on mine.

Hello all, been busy lately, so haven't made much of a visit here in awhile. I've decided in the early winter, that it was time to "restore" my Zodiac 601XL-B. I've had AME's pull the wings, ...

Thanks Bob! How do I go about getting one from Eric Jones?

So, went for a flight today. Temps were chilly at 8 degrees Celsius. Fired her up with a voltage showing of 12.8 before turning the key. Fired right up. Then...... I noticed the ALT light showing a fl ...

Update*******

Flew the plane 10lbs under gross. DA was 675'. 17 degrees Celsius.

Climbed at 700-850'/min. Even did some climbs from 3000' and saw almost 1000'/min up there at 18 degrees. So, all ...

Hello all. Quick question....

I changed the pitch of my prop for a cruise setting, so I lost about 200-300' min doing so at 1100lbs. At 1100lbs, (1300 is gross) I saw 1200-1300'/min at 1100lbs. Wit ...

****** UPDATE!!!!!!!

Here is the flight test today. I tried EVERY combination, from full flaps to half flaps to 10 degrees of flaps. Tried holding in some elevator, and in ALL these cases, it ADDED ...

Hey guys. I didn't create the POH. Bought this airplane from the original builder. I'd have to double check, but I believe at gross, the take off is around 800-1000' on grass over a 50. Landings I thi ...

Paul;

Thanks for the reply. It's not the first flight. I've got 30 plus hours on type, some on grass and some on long paved runways. A friend of mine has a 1800' strip I want to go into on the week ...

Anyone on here with a Rotax powered 601XL-B? What is the shortest runway you've used, and how did it work out? Grass of course. I want to attempt a 1800' runway with 75' obstacles at Either end. I KNO ...

Brand new prop. Brand new hub. Brand new extension. Smooth as silk at full throttle. When I mean runs rough below 4000, I mean its only firing on half the cylinders. It's THAT sputtery. Although yeste ...

Dick,

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense but at the same time doesn't ? It doesn't do it on the ground. Maybe because I'm not going from very high throttle down to 4000 on the ground? Good point tho ...
